"List it as you wish - I haven't tagged it as such, nor do I care. Anonymous user has no merit to me, so goodbye."

Big words, just because I don't feel the need to log into a free wikia that doesn't require an account to edit doesn't mean you can simply discredit me. Would you feel better if I logged in? Also, go back a page or two on spytec's wall here. I left a nice long post about the cutter there quite some time ago to justify it's existence here at all. But I'm sure that has no merit to you either, because you have your concept art and that's obviously more important than facts (you have none other than lore) and data (of which I have, there is a cutter, it's in the data, and it's not listed like any other imperial ship, it has similar entries to non-affiliated ships like the cobra, eagle, vulture, etc).

""Cutter" doesn't exist in the Elite universe, Imperial Cutter does. Yes it is a question whether it makes it into the game, but it does exist."

Say what you want, as the ship is currently labeled in the game data it is NOT an imperial ship. Every imperial ship is prefixed with "empire_", and thus far this does not apply to the entry for cutter in the playable ship area. I double checked UK.ovi, where any playable ship can be found by plain-text name if you know the name, still shows all the typical entries for "cutter" like other ships, but not for "empire_cutter" or anything remotely similar. I'd be ok with you listing this as speculative, like the hunter or krait, which also don't exist at all presently in the data, but listing it as upcoming is just spreading bad information at this point. It's not announced, doesn't exist in data, and there's nothing but a piece of concept art that has conflicting info about whether or not it became the clipper. The only empire_ prefixed ship (read imperial) that exists in the data that we don't have is the empire_liner, which could be any number of things. The imperial eagle doesn't exist yet in data, but it has been announced.

So again, without an offical announcement or a presence in game data, it's nothing but speculation and shouldn't be listed as upcoming.

Military Grade Composite

2015-08-15T21:27:58Z

174.102.154.114: /* Known Locations */ Updated to have actually useful information, removed completely pointless "list" of systems selling this. List was useless because if the ship isn't sold there, no bulkheads will be sold there for that ship.

[[File:Ss_(2014-12-16_at_11.39.21).jpg|thumb|311px|Military Grade Composite]]
{{quote|Hardened structure and compounds offering superior protection against all types of attack.|In-Game Description}}

Military Grade Composite is a reinforcement material for the ship's hull. It is designed to give better protection than [[Lightweight Alloys]] and [[Reinforced Alloys]] against all projectile and energy weapons. This is not a specialized composite in the way that [[Mirrored Surface Composite]] and [[Reactive Surface Composite]] are. Military Grade Composite offers the best all-round protection of any reinforcement material.

==Specifications==
As with all armour the price and weight of Military Grade scales with the size of the ship. It is almost always twice the price and weight of Reinforced Alloys.

==Locations==
Military Grade Composites are available to purchase throughout civilized space at many stations, as long as that station has a shipyard. More commonly found in High Tech and highly populated systems, but not necessarily limited to them. Will only be available for purchase for a particular ship if that ship is also sold at the station's shipyard.[[Category:Equipment]]

Reinforced Alloy

174.102.154.114: added note about finding reinforced alloys

[[File:ReinforcedAlloys.jpg|thumb|276x276px|Reinforced Alloys]]
{{quote|Advanced structure and compounds offer improved resistance against all types of attack.|In-Game Description}}

Reinforced alloys is a reinforcement material for the ship's hull. It gives better general protection than [[Lightweight Alloys]], but not as much protection as [[Military Grade Composite]]. It offers around 25% damage reduction against thermal and kinetic damage.{{Cite}}

Reinforced alloys will only be available to purchase for a particular ship if that ship is available for purchase at the station's shipyard.

==Specifications==
The price and weight of Reinforced Alloys scales with the price and weight of the ship respectively.

Bulkheads

2015-08-15T21:21:46Z

174.102.154.114: Added note about finding bulkheads for purchase

All ships in Elite use '''bulkheads''' to protect their hulls. This is your main form of defence should your shields fail. There are three general types of bulkheads, in increasing order of protection:
* [[Lightweight Alloys|Lightweight Alloy]]
* [[Reinforced Alloys|Reinforced Alloy]]
* [[Military Grade Composite]]
The more heavily armoured bulkheads are also heavier, however. It's unclear if this affects ship handling, but it may in different versions of the game. It most certainly increases the ship's mass and therefore cuts into its jump-range when travelling between systems.

In addition, there are two types of speciality bulkheads:
* [[Mirrored Surface Composite]], for protecting against energy weapons
* [[Reactive Surface Composite]], for protecting against projectile and missile weapons.

Bulkheads are available for purchase at outfitters throughout civilized space. However, no bulkheads will be available to purchase for a particular ship if it is not also sold at that location's shipyard.

I have a problem with this. This ship hasn't been confirmed at all, the concept art referenced is from an early design that became the clipper. In the game data, we have a "cutter" but we don't see an "empire_cutter" like we do with the other empire ships. "empire_courier" is in the data, that's the imperial courier. "empire_trader" is in the data, that's the clipper. "empire_liner" is in the data, that's something we haven't seen yet. The closest thing we have to a mention of this ship is in the description of the couier, "Officially the class is used to provide transport for officials that don't warrant the use of a Cutter or Interdictor" but in this case it's unlikely to be mentioning a specific ship. It's more likely that cutter is used in place of "light warship".

I'd propose we at least flag this as a rumor or something and bring back the page for the cutter ship as mentioned in the game data, at least until we get something from the devs one way or another.

174.102.154.114: Adding back the cutter, assuming we've settle our disagreement over it...

{{UpdateMe}}

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 17 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[pirate]]s, etc. Of the unreleased ships, every ship listed as upcoming is already represented in game data and makes up the remaining balance of the original 25 planned ships. Every ship in the speculated ships column is something we have concept art for or developer comments, but is not currently present in the game data.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the [[stars]] the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]]. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

174.102.154.114: Created page with "Following up to our little spat over the cutter. If you take a look in various game data files, you'll find references to the cutter in addition to references to the Imperial ..."

Following up to our little spat over the cutter. If you take a look in various game data files, you'll find references to the cutter in addition to references to the Imperial Fighter (labeled Empire Fighter), indicating that these are separate ships.

A notable example, pull up the Root.ovi file found within the game data files in it's installation directory. Mixed in within all the garbage, you'll find several readable text strings containing "cutter" that are similar to those of other playable ships.

Another example, look at global.ovi. Here you'll find plenty of shipyard references for various ships. There's an entry for the cutter, similar to the entry for the vulture and other playable ships. I've noted entries for "trader", "cutter" "asp" "panther" "orca" "adder" "ferdelance" "belugaliner" "anaconda" "type6" "type7" "hauler" "type9" "viper" "python" "dolphin" "sidewinder" "cobramkiii" "vulture" "eagle" "federationdropship"

Where the game data really shines though is in the localised data, so using UK.ovi as the example, you can find a reference to all the ships. Just search for them. This contains separate references to both cutter and empire_fighter, as well as being a good place to find references to more obscure unreleased ships like the diamondback and empire_liner, which don't appear many other places. What else is noatble, is while you can find all the ships listed in our current and upcoming, as well as non-playable ships, you find NO reference to concept only ships like "the hunter" and "krait".

These are all things you can see for yourself with a decent text editor and a little bit of searching. I like notepad++. Others on reddit have maybe had better success parsing the game data, but this is a quick and dirty way to see for yourself.<ac_metadata title="Cutter"> </ac_metadata>

174.102.154.114: For whatever reason Cutter was missing from the upcoming list. No idea what it is, but it's in the player ship area in the game data. That finishes off the original 25. Here's to hoping 26-30 are more interesting

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 17 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[pirate]]s, etc. Of the unreleased ships, every ship listed as upcoming is already represented in game data and makes up the remaining balance of the original 25 planned ships. Every ship in the speculated ships column is something we have concept art for or developer comments, but is not currently present in the game data.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the [[stars]] the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]]. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

Ships

2015-03-23T01:28:30Z

174.102.154.114: Every ship in "upcoming" is represented in the game data as it stands today. These are the balance of our original 25 ships. "speculated" are ships we think we'll get based on concept art, but are not in the game data.

{{UpdateMe}}

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 17 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[pirate]]s, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the [[stars]] the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]]. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

Ships

2015-03-21T12:15:28Z

174.102.154.114: Split up ships into 3 categories instead of two, so that we can clearly see the difference between ships we were promised in the original 25 and ships that we might get but were not promised. Upcoming ships are ships that already exist in game data.

{{UpdateMe}}

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 17 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[pirate]]s, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the [[stars]] the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]]. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Stats==

Sidewinder can be obtained for free.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Asp Explorer''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is quite good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good maneuverability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own FSD with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the FSD of low mass prey).

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra]] whose purchase cost is approximately 5.7 million fewer credits while still having a moderate cargo capacity and threatening weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Lakon Type 6]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs approximately 5 million fewer credits.

{{quote|The Cobra Mk III is a classic all purpose ship found throughout human space. The model was first built in Lave Cowell & MgRath shipyard in Lave in 3100. Despite its age it remains a popular ship for lone pilots who value its balance of carrying capacity and ability in combat.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Cobra Mk. III''' is a larger and more popular version of the Cobra Mk. I. It was first seen in service in 3100 AD, originally manufactured by Cowell & McGrath Shipyard, Lave. Since Cowell & McGrath's acquisition by Faulcon de Lacey it is now branded as an FdL made ship.

The Cobra's carrying capacity, being more than double that of the [[Hauler]], and its cost, being almost one third that of the [[Lakon Type 6]], makes it a logical stepping stone for aspiring traders as there is no other ship capable of hauling more cargo at the Cobra's size and cost. In addition to its large cargohold it has much better combat potential than freighters and can oftentimes defend itself or run away from hostile [[interdiction]]s. What's more is that the Cobra is an ideal craft to plunder the space lines in for a [[pirate]] or [[smuggler]] due to the Cobra's ample capacity for loot, the ability to outrun most other ships and its relatively low heat signature.

The downside of this ship is the combat ability relative to other ships. For bounty hunters who are attempting to tackle skilled opponents the [[Cobra]] can be outmaneuvered by [[Eagle]]s and [[Viper]]s while being easily outgunned by [[Python]]s and [[Anaconda]]s.

Federation

2015-02-22T20:45:37Z

174.102.154.114: /* Ranks */ Someone muddled the table again, probably because the game likes to bug and reward wrong permits sometimes

[[File:FederationInsignia.png|thumb|200px|Insignia of The Federation]]

The '''Federation''' is the oldest of the three major powers in the universe, the other two being the [[Empire]] and the [[Alliance]]. The planet Earth (Sol), birthplace of humankind, is the historic capital of the Federation and regarded as the centre of human-inhabited space. The Federation loosely lies between the Alliance and the Empire on the galactic map.

The relationship between the Federation and the Alliance is one of toleration. The relationship between the Federation and the Empire is one of deep hostility.

The Federation is highly dependent on technology and is home to many huge and wealthy corporations. In the period of rebuilding after the end of World War 3 on Earth (circa 2044-2055AD) it was the corporations who became powerful and dominant. In modern times it is the corporations who are the life-blood and backbone of the Federation. It is rumoured that these corporations have such influence and power that they can even direct the Federal government. Perhaps even to the point deciding who to elect as President!

Corruption and bribery are rife in the Federation and law enforcement has been known to turn a blind eye if the price is right.

==Permits==
Permits are required to access certain systems that are otherwise locked out by the computer of your FSD.

Such permits are rewarded by the the controlling faction for that locked system, when you become friendly with that faction, by accomplishing missions such as "Federal dispatch" and receiving ranks. You can often find that faction on a station outside the main system they control.

Once finished several dispatch quests, simply visit the Bulletin Board at any of the faction's stations to accept a job titled "Federal invitation". Accepting the job automatically adds the permit to your FSD computer.

==History==
The Federation was formed circa 2240AD as a direct response to the colonists on Tau Ceti 3 ignoring Earth's demands to stop killing the native wildlife (to near extinction levels) over a period of approx. 20 years. The newly formed entity was then able to cast great influence throughout known space. The founding members of the Federation are: Earth (Sol), Tau Ceti, Delta Pavonis, Altair, and Beta Hydri. The Federation has always seen itself as '''the''' major power in the universe. From the very beginning, long before the [[Empire]] or [[Alliance]] existed, it took upon itself the task of policing the universe and being the peacekeepers. This often included interfering and meddling in the affairs of other non-member worlds and generally bullying and oppressing the known universe into submission.

==Lore==
{{quote|To an outsider, the hierarchy of Federation society is based on democratic principles - people vote within their System/State to elect Congressmen, and a President with an 8-year term and a ‘vote of confidence’ after the first 4 years.

However, corporate loyalty oils the machine, and Federation space is a battleground of commerce. Commercial organisations compete as aggressively as the law will allow for the time and attention of the Federal citizen, who goes through life bombarded by advertising.

Corruption is not unusual – individuals defend it shamelessly when caught as ‘getting one over the system’. Social class is only determined between ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. There is a lot of poverty about, as well as conspicuous wealth.

The huge gross domestic product (GDP) of the Federation economy funds a large, well-equipped Federal Navy which projects its values and influence.

Culturally the Federation is tolerant of some things (like religions) but utterly intolerant of drug-taking, political activism, and certain cultures. A great many things are illegal, like slavery, cloning and certain narcotics.

Federal law is based on an agreed Constitution. People have rights and freedoms, enshrined by this agreement. Local ‘State’ law prohibits other trafficking to a greater or lesser degree. Things like ship-based weapons, personal weapons, other milder drugs and alcohol are banned in some systems.

The media drives a culture of celebrity. Top ranking politicians, social commentators, entertainers and super-rich all command a great deal of media attention. This provides a massive distraction for the populace, to the extent that foreign wars conducted by the Federation on their behalf get little media attention. This has gone on for many hundreds of years, and there is no sign of it changing.|Newsletter #22<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=f72c0f91b2 Newsletter #22]</ref>}}

This page is too unwieldy to use effectively. That table sucks, if we wanted to add a column indicating which minor factions reward system permits, it's a nightmare. And just checking to see if a group, like Phekda society, has been added in every system I've found them in is silly even with the sort, because on edit it removes the sorting. Any thoughts to make this better?

{{UpdateMe}}

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 15 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can [[Outfitting|fit]] to help specialize as traders, smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at stations with the Shipyard service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the stars the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large fuel tanks for ships of their size, and lots of low class internal compartments for scanners. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refueling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain shield capacitors, scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armor piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the Empire they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller factions, organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

Federation

2015-01-23T04:05:48Z

174.102.154.114: /* Permits */ Getting Exbeur at Ensign was a bug that got fixed in 1.06, resulting in the immediate award of Vega and Hors. Lucky me, who needs to be a post commander anyway

[[File:FederationInsignia.png|thumb|200px|Insignia of The Federation]]

The '''Federation''' is the oldest of the three major powers in the universe, the other two being the [[Empire]] and the [[Alliance]]. The planet Earth (Sol), birthplace of humankind, is the historic capital of the Federation and regarded as the centre of human-inhabited space. The Federation loosely lies between the Alliance and the Empire on the galactic map.

The relationship between the Federation and the Alliance is one of toleration. The relationship between the Federation and the Empire is one of deep hostility.

The Federation is highly dependent on technology and is home to many huge and wealthy corporations. In the period of rebuilding after the end of World War 3 on Earth (circa 2044-2055AD) it was the corporations who became powerful and dominant. In modern times it is the corporations who are the life-blood and backbone of the Federation. It is rumoured that these corporations have such influence and power that they can even direct the Federal government. Perhaps even to the point deciding who to elect as President!

Corruption and bribery are rife in the Federation and law enforcement has been known to turn a blind eye if the price is right.

==Ranks==

==Faction Ships==
* [[Farragut]]
* [[Federal Dropship]]
* [[F63 Condor]]

==Permits==
Permits are required to access certain systems that are otherwise locked out by the computer of your FSD.

Such permits are rewarded by the the controlling faction for that locked system, when you become friendly with that faction, by accomplishing missions such as "Federal dispatch" and receiving ranks. You can often find that faction on a station outside the main system they control.

Once finished several dispatch quests, simply visit the Bulletin Board at any of the faction's stations to accept a job titled "Federal invitation". Accepting the job automatically adds the permit to your FSD computer.

==History==
The Federation was formed circa 2240AD as a direct response to the colonists on Tau Ceti 3 ignoring Earth's demands to stop killing the native wildlife (to near extinction levels) over a period of approx. 20 years. The newly formed entity was then able to cast great influence throughout known space. The founding members of the Federation are: Earth (Sol), Tau Ceti, Delta Pavonis, Altair, and Beta Hydri. The Federation has always seen itself as '''the''' major power in the universe. From the very beginning, long before the [[Empire]] or [[Alliance]] existed, it took upon itself the task of policing the universe and being the peacekeepers. This often included interfering and meddling in the affairs of other non-member worlds and generally bullying and oppressing the known universe into submission.

==Lore==
{{quote|To an outsider, the hierarchy of Federation society is based on democratic principles - people vote within their System/State to elect Congressmen, and a President with an 8-year term and a ‘vote of confidence’ after the first 4 years.

However, corporate loyalty oils the machine, and Federation space is a battleground of commerce. Commercial organisations compete as aggressively as the law will allow for the time and attention of the Federal citizen, who goes through life bombarded by advertising.

Corruption is not unusual – individuals defend it shamelessly when caught as ‘getting one over the system’. Social class is only determined between ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. There is a lot of poverty about, as well as conspicuous wealth.

The huge gross domestic product (GDP) of the Federation economy funds a large, well-equipped Federal Navy which projects its values and influence.

Culturally the Federation is tolerant of some things (like religions) but utterly intolerant of drug-taking, political activism, and certain cultures. A great many things are illegal, like slavery, cloning and certain narcotics.

Federal law is based on an agreed Constitution. People have rights and freedoms, enshrined by this agreement. Local ‘State’ law prohibits other trafficking to a greater or lesser degree. Things like ship-based weapons, personal weapons, other milder drugs and alcohol are banned in some systems.

The media drives a culture of celebrity. Top ranking politicians, social commentators, entertainers and super-rich all command a great deal of media attention. This provides a massive distraction for the populace, to the extent that foreign wars conducted by the Federation on their behalf get little media attention. This has gone on for many hundreds of years, and there is no sign of it changing.|Newsletter #22<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=f72c0f91b2 Newsletter #22]</ref>}}

Federation

174.102.154.114: /* Permits */ Just ranked to ensign, received Exbeur permit. I think someone got them mixed up. Assuming Vega is Lieutenant, will correct if wrong at next rank increase...
